GBA city guide

Huizhou 惠州

Huizhou offers West Lake walks shaped by the story of an exiled poet and seaside stays on Huidong's Renping Peninsula. Its technology businesses include battery maker EVE Energy and automotive-electronics developer Desay SV.

Huizhou in the Greater Bay Area

Huizhou lies east of Dongguan and Shenzhen. Huicheng contains the old urban centre around West Lake and the Dongjiang and Xizhi rivers; Huiyang is a separate district, while Boluo, Huidong and Longmen are counties. Zhongkai and Daya Bay are development zones with distinct industrial roles.

Living & visiting

West Lake, industrial districts and the Huidong coast

Huicheng: lakeside and riverside streets

Huicheng is the old urban centre around West Lake, the Dongjiang and Xizhi rivers. Su Causeway links the lake landscape with the story of Su Dongpo's years in Huizhou.

Zhongkai: devices, displays and energy

Zhongkai is a high-tech development zone with smart-device, display and energy businesses. For a factory meeting here, plan around the company address; West Lake in Huicheng is elsewhere in the city.

Huiyang and Daya Bay

Huiyang and the Daya Bay development zone cover different parts of southern Huizhou. Daya Bay includes the petrochemical base. If arriving at Huiyang railway station for a Daya Bay meeting, allow for the onward local journey; the municipal park guide below lists the industrial locations.

Places and local culture

Su Dongpo: an exile who helped build bridges

The poet and official Su Shi, better known as Su Dongpo, was exiled to Huizhou in 1094. He raised money for Dongxin and Xixin bridges to ease local travel, contributing a rhinoceros-horn belt given to him by the emperor. His local legacy is practical as well as literary: Su Causeway is among the places that still carry his story.

Business & industry

Visiting for business

Batteries: start with the product

Huizhou's battery industry includes consumer, vehicle and energy-storage products. EVE Energy, based in Zhongkai, makes all three.

Automotive electronics and displays

Desay SV develops electronics for vehicle cockpits, driving systems and connected services in Huizhou. Zhongkai also has display and smart-device businesses. These are useful starting points for researching components and product development; the municipal industrial-park guide below explains where the different industries are based.

Chemicals and materials beyond Zhongkai

Daya Bay has Huizhou's petrochemical base, while Baihua in Huidong has a park for chemical and electronic materials. If your visit concerns materials rather than finished electronics, start with these areas in the municipal park guide. They are outside Zhongkai, so use the company's address when planning the trip.
